Chapter 162 - 115 Inner Domain, I, Xu Yan, Have Arrived_i
Red Cat’s eyes widened, seemingly in confusion as it could not comprehend the words spoken by Li Xuan.
“After all, it’s a ferocious beast. Despite looking somewhat intelligent, how could it possibly comprehend such profound knowledge?”
Li Xuan shook his head and laughed at his foolish expectations, thinking that Red Cat could grasp the essence of a monstrous method.
He lazily walked away, playing with his Jade Ruyi.
Outside the manor, on the hillside.
Sitting cross-legged, Meng Chong was completely engrossed in understanding the Great Sun Golden Body; he was inching closer to realizing the cultivation method.
His Senior Brother headed to the Inner Domain, a place his heart longed for as well.
The reason he hadn’t immediately gone to the Inner Domain was not just his own admission of insufficient strength, but also that he, being in the Stagnant Blood Stage, was incapable of flying.
Without reaching the Innate Realm, he couldn’t fully execute the method of Thunderstorm Travel.
“The Great Sun Golden Body, after connecting Heaven and Earth Bridge, starts the process of Qi Sea cultivation. Creating an energy foundation in the Qi Sea, opening up the holes of the Golden Body in the Innate Realm opens up eighteen holes in all, forming a small cycle.
“Each hole can nurture the mysteries of the physical body. With the opening of the eighteen holes, a part of the transmutation of the Great Sun Golden Body can be exhibited. Although 1 can’t achieve a three zhang golden body yet, a one zhang golden body should be achievable.
“I have a bit of an understanding of the mysteries of the golden body holes.”
A flash of enlightenment lit up Meng Chong’s mind as he began to grasp the method of the Great Sun Golden Body.
The locations of the Golden Body holes were set. While realizing his own body, he discovered some other holes as well.
“The Great Sun Golden Body is within sight.”
Meng Chong was ecstatic.
He didn’t know how many days he had been meditating on the hillside, but at that moment, he finally comprehended the Great Sun Golden Body!
While sitting in a chair, Li Xuan read an ancient book and wielded a cane. He pointed out Red Cat’s body holes, saying, “Red Cat, these are body holes. You should aim the power of the medicinal pill you consume at one of these holes. You might reap some benefit!”
Red Cat sat on the floor, its tail wagging back and forth, its expression displaying a mixture of understanding and confusion.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared.
Li Xuan’s heart leaped with joy – Meng Chong had realized the Great Sun Golden Body.
“Your disciple Meng Chong has comprehended the Great Sun Golden Body technique you created. Hence, you have entered the Great Sun Golden Body.” Bang!
In that instant, Li Xuan felt some holes in his body open up, nurturing a profound energy. His physical body was improving rapidly, increasing its capabilities by more than tenfold in a flash.
“So this is what the Great Sun Golden Body is like!”
Li Xuan had reinstated the complete cultivation method of the Great Sun Golden Body. Both, the Physical Martial Arts and Innate Realm, were fully developed and expanded.
In the Innate Realm, eighteen holes of the Great Sun Golden Body had to be opened. For him, who had just entered this realm, only three holes were opened. These three holes constantly nurtured a mystical energy, which in turn kept strengthening his physical body.
“With my current physical strength, even a Grandmaster would not be able to harm me if I just stood still.”
Li Xuan was overjoyed. His Great Sun Golden Body was quite powerful.
His strength had advanced further.
He was not far from overpowering a Grandmaster with a single hand.
Now that Meng Chong had grasped the concept of the Great Sun Golden Body, his breakthrough to the Innate Realm was imminent.
“When Xu Yan broke through, he transformed into the Dragon-Teng Mountain and River Spirit Bones. Will Meng Chong undergo a similar transformation?”
Li Xuan pondered.
Considering Xu Yan’s extraordinary talent and the fact that he was a pioneer of Martial Arts, Li Xuan suspected that he possessed great luck and was possibly a child of destiny.
Hence, the transformation had occurred when he broke through to the Innate Realm.
Meng Chong, on the other hand, was not quite at Xu Yan’s level, so he might not go through such a transformation.
“By the time Meng Chong breaks through and I achieve the Great Sun Golden Body in the Innate Realm, I will have grown stronger. 1 would be able to face several Grandmasters and easily handle their combined assault.”
Li Xuan was exhilarated at the thought.
Having obtained the complete technique of the Great Sun Golden Body, he now had some ideas for the Red Cat. With the bamboo cane, he pointed at Red Cat’s body, saying, “I will teach you the monstrous method. You need to understand it. Even if you’re a pet, you can’t be too useless. Besides, your massive body isn’t cute in the least.
“If you can’t comprehend it, then 1 might have to consider… stewing you!”
All the while, he was grinning at the shivering Red Cat.
“Remember what I’ve told you…”
Li Xuan repeated the new monstrous method to Red Cat, word by word.
He didn’t expect Red Cat to remember it all in one go. If he repeated it daily and if Red Cat was intelligent enough, it should, over time, remember it, right?
If Red Cat really manages to cultivate the monstrous method, would he be credited with pioneering Monstrous Martial Arts?
Would he receive any form of feedback for that?
Li Xuan was full of anticipation.
In the capital city of Qi Country.
Guo Rongshan was examining a letter and then opened a box to find a statue.
The statue depicted a figure with one hand resting on his back and the other holding a Jade Ruyi. His head was slightly raised, seemingly looking into the horizon, like a lofty hermit.
The statue’s face was simply outlined, but it still conveyed a sense of handsome elegance, appearing quite youthful.
If Li Xuan saw this statue, he would realize that although the facial features were simply outlined, they somewhat resembled his own.
“Daoist Ancestor, Preeminent Sage? Saint of Martial Arts?”
Guo Rongshan’s expression was solemn as he respectfully lifted the statue and placed it on the table.
“Father, what did you want to see me for?”
Guo Yunkai walked in.
“Have you seen this statue? Use the best jade to carve one for our home.. This is the Saint of Martial Arts!”
